Insights into the world of science

The Long Night of Research aims to inspire children and young people in particular for science and research. With around 170,000 visitors attending over 270 locations in 2024, it is clear: enthusiasm for the topic is growing. The event is financially supported by the Federal Ministry for Women, Science and Research, the Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, Energy and Tourism. In collaboration with eight federal states, some universities and various research institutions, a network is being built to make research from Austria visible and tangible.

The LNF will be particularly interesting for anyone who is curious and enjoys tinkering. The participation of the FH Salzburg, the Paracelsus Medical Private University, the HTL Salzburg and many other institutions ensures that visitors can experience first-hand what is going on in scientific teaching.
